Takuya Kimura And His Teenage Daughter Once Had A Big Fight Over... Sink Water?

Everyone who had once been a teenager will know very well the perils of puberty angst. And despite his superstar status, Japanese heartthrob Takuya Kimura is not spared from his teenage daughters’ mercurial moods. Kimutaku, 46, recently opened up about parenthood on 54-year-old Japanese singer Masahiko Kondō’s variety show Come On! Rockin’ Road, and the two men traded battle stories about their kids.

Takuya has two daughters: Kokomi Kimura, 18, and Mitsuki ‘Koki’ Kimura, 16, a successful fashion model. Masahiko professed that he and his wife get along with their son very well, and expressed his curiosity about the dynamics of the Kimura household.

Kimutaku then candidly shared about one of his family’s biggest fights, which resulted in a one-month cold war between him and his daughter. While he did not specify which of his two daughters was involved, Takuya spilled on the dramatic details.

According to him, the fight revolved around him, his wife (’90s pop star Shizuka Kudo) and their daughter. It all started when his daughter mistakenly thought Shizuka had deliberately splashed water from the sink on her. The angry teen mouthed off her mum, which caught the attention of Takuya, who promptly slammed the script he had been reading on the table and confronted his daughter about her disrespect.

He then went into the kitchen, got a glass of water, and told his daughter: “I will show you what it’s really like to have water deliberately poured on you.” His daughter burst into tears upon being reprimanded, and later ignored Takuya for a month. An amused Masahiko couldn’t resist joking: “Wow, are you guys filming a TV drama?”

Since making her modelling debut just last June, Koki has modelled for major fashion magazines in Japan and overseas, and counts 1.5mil followers on her Instagram (@kokiofficial_0205).

Takuya and Leah's Levi's ad

Perhaps Takuya get along better with other people’s daughters, like Faye Wong’s 22-year-old kid Leau Dou. Takuya and Leah, a singer, recently starred in a Levi’s 20th anniversary ad campaign, which included a video of the duo dancing Pulp Fiction-style in an empty train. Check out their killer dance moves (Takuya Still. Got. It).

They also attended the brand’s press conference dressed in matching denim outfits, where Takuya laughingly explained his camaraderie with Leah by saying: “There’s an unbelievable connection — I know her mother.” Takuya and Faye had starred in auteur Wong Kar Wai’s 2004 movie 2046.

Interestingly, Leah's casual streetwear style is a far cry from her younger sister Li Yan, 13, who has hogged headlines for her love of expensive high fashion labels.

But let’s not forget that even at 46, Takuya can still slay the heck out of a pair of jeans. Scroll on for more photos of Leah and Takuya in their sizzling Levi’s ad.
